Elmer,

A better description of the CuMine bootup problem. Not earth shattering IMHO.

I guess it's not as earth shattering as the WIN95 timing loop problem with K6-Xs ;-)

Regards,
Goutama

Regarding the Coppermine bug, it sounds like it could be a power-on-reset circuit design problem. It may have worked fine in 0.25u, but acts marginally when going to 0.18u due to capacitance differences. The first attempt to power-up precharges part of the circuit in a way that the second attempt is successful. Guest a guess.

Pravin.

EP, re:<If a computer contains a chip that contains the flaw, the computer does not start the first time the "on" button is pressed. It starts on the second try.>

This is EXACTLY the behaviour of MSI Athlon motherboards that you, Paul and Yousef ranted about incessantly back in August. MSI recalled all their rev 1.0 motherboards.

Is Intel going to recall all their Coppermines?
